Code Graph Rag Overview

The code-graph-rag MCP server parses mixed-language repositories with Tree-sitter and stores code structure in an embedded graph database. It combines natural-language questions with generated Cypher queries to retrieve functions, classes, methods, modules, and relationships from the indexed codebase. Use it for monorepo exploration, AST-aware edits with diff previews, dead-code analysis, structural search, and runtime call tracing. Python 3.12+, ripgrep, and the optional language extras are required for installation.

Primary Use Cases for Code Graph Rag:
  • Index a mixed-language monorepo for structural code questions
  • Retrieve implementation details by function, class, or intent
  • Review AST-based edits before applying them
  • Trace runtime calls and merge them with static relationships
